Q&A | #42 - Do I Need Tippet?! (+ More)

[@russb9522]

I've fished all my life but never tried fly fishing. My wife bought me a fly rod for Christmas last year and I was felling pretty daunted on how to start. Your videos, especially the 14 series on beginning fly fishing really helped me out. I went for the first time yesterday and after finally getting the hang of casting on water for the first time caught my first fish on a mosquito dry fly within just a few minutes. Thanks for all the videos you've posted they're the best out there IMO. No one else explains things so simply and easily that even a dope like me can understand.

Answer to the last question is excellent, it goes to the heart of how fish attack prey/bait/flies, etc... and gives one a better understanding on fishing strategies and technique.

What do you mean “turn over”? Wouldn’t thinner line allow a streamer to “turn” more easily?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Please send your questions directly to Brian through the shop and he’ll be happy to help. Thanks.

[@pbp6741]

Any plans to resume your 2-day beginner fly fishing program at some post-COVID safe point?

[@philj212]

when you plow through that many flies, how often do you add length to your tippet then? several times per fishing trip?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Please send your questions over to the shop via email or give them a call and they will be happy to help. Thanks.

[@JohnDrach]

You can find where the leader stops tapering and tie on a tippet ring. Once you cut down to the tippet ring you'll know to add on more tippet

[@LukeHopkin]

[@malteheierhofff6460]

[@Madriveroutfitters]
